My first Omega

I wasn't looking to buy this watch but I am very happy I did. This is my first Omega and I absolutely love it!

Thanks, Everyone. I was intending on buying an Explorer I 214170 but this watch popped up for sale locally ($2900) and I bought it. It's the large 45.5 mm size and I'm really impressed with the craftsmanship and feel of it. I think I'll keep it for awhile....

That is a beautiful watch. If you ever get the chance to pick up a Ti edition you will be amazed the difference in weight.

At $2,900 you got a great deal on an awesome timepiece. How could you go wrong!

IMHO the PO 600M 8500 gets a bad rap and everyone is chasing the previous 2500 cal model. But after 6-months of ownership I simply love this watch.

I bought the OEM rubber and leather straps, along with an OEM deployant buckle and couldn't be happier. Wears so much lighter and the look of the black straps against this watch is beautiful.

Wear in good health
